Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Verify the company name discrepancy: The filing is for Trovagene, Inc., despite the request metadata referencing Cardiff Oncology, Inc.
- Confirm the high volume of broker non-votes (7,456,582 shares) in the director election, which indicates a significant portion of shares held in street name were not voted on this proposal.
- Review the approved 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to understand the potential dilution from the reserved 2,500,000 shares.
